📖 Detailed Explanation
The main bonus features in Wolf Gold by Pragmatic Play are the Free Spins and Money Respin (also called Hold and Respin), both triggered by specific symbols on the 5x3 reels with 25 paylines.
Free Spins is activated by landing 3 or more Scatter symbols (full moon or sunset) anywhere on the reels, awarding 5, 8, or 12 spins based on the number of Scatters (some sources note 5 for 3, up to 15 or more with retriggers). During this feature, reels 2-4 often merge into a 3x3 Mega Symbol for bigger wins, with a 3x multiplier on all payouts and potential retriggers from 3+ additional Scatters. Stacked Wolf Wilds substitute for other symbols (except Money Moons and Scatters) and expand to cover reels.
The Money Respin Feature triggers with 6+ Moon symbols (money symbols), locking them in place and granting 3 respins that reset with each new Moon. Only blanks, Moons (valued 1x-1000x bet), and jackpots appear; filling all 15 positions wins the Mega Jackpot (1000x bet). Fixed jackpots include Mini (10-20x), Minor/Midi (25-100x), Major (100-500x), and Grand/Mega (1000-5000x).
Additionally, 3 Scatters may spin a Bonus Wheel for Free Spins, Money Respin, Super Bonus (enhanced 4-grid respins), or instant jackpots (10x-5000x). Variants like Wolf Gold 4 Pack expand this with Gold Moons resetting all grids. These features drive the game's high volatility and 96% RTP potential.
- Key Tip: Money Moons offer jackpot chases; Free Spins excel with multipliers.
- Random Jackpot Bonus can trigger anytime for Mini/Major/Mega.
